New troubles:
I'm now able to play but it very glitchy.
Some issues are:
-It takes around a full minute for a game to load after selecting a plane.
-the airstrip and hangars appear after I have spawned in on bare grass. (Even when respawning) (sometimes causes crash)
-the enemy soldier in a chute is a speck, like a single grain of sand.
-My soldier is invisible to me. (Only a rifle)
-water looks better but at some angles I can't tell how far away it is.
-lag is quite bad, others complain of me "jumping around" kills are often delayed.
-spawning on a carrier seems to make lots of lag. (Not really sure of this, haven't tried it enough to say for sure)
-tank view is different and tank.seems slow. (Turret view seems normal)
-machine gun sounds are very irregular. Sounds like misfires but shots seem okay.
-I can adjust the size of the name tags but the settings have reset to full size every time I go to graphics settings.
-in the pre-game menus, the top button seems to be darkened as if it has already been selected.
I have not yet seen a ctc since update allowed me to fly again.
I don't think I'm going to play much for a while. I'll check in from time to time on the forum and occasionally in game to see if it's better but I'm going to use my time to play more music for a while.
I still love the game but it's not running well enough right now to be worth the time investment.
